Inauguration Day 2009-Obama Sworn in

President-Elect Barack Obama became America's 44th President
today, Inauguration Day 2009.

The 56th Presidential Inaugural was on Tuesday, January 20th.

The Inauguration took place on January 20, 2009 in Washington D.C.
on the steps of the United States Capitol. Obama made it official
when the President-elect took the oath of office, following the
Vice President-elect Joe Biden who had already taken a similar oath.

'We must pick ourselves up'

President Obama and Vice-President Biden will now set out on a
plan to revitalize the economy.

One aspect of the Obama-Biden Plan will focus on small business
taxation...

Zero capital gains rate for investment in small businesses: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that we need to encourage investment in small businesses to help create jobs and turn our economy around. That's why they will eliminate all capital gains taxes on investments made in small and start-up businesses. They also want to cut taxes for the small businesses that create jobs but are struggling with restricted access to credit on top of skyrocketing health care and energy costs.

Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 "Making Work Pay" tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.

As a smaill business entrepreneur, you may well want to follow
the changes and progress of the new economy plan.

Another aspect that could effect growing your business is focused
on SBA (Small Business Administration) Loans:

Address the credit crisis facing our small businesses: To address the massive credit crunch that is threatening America's small businesses, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are proposing two immediate steps: (1) a nationwide emergency lending facility for small businesses that could be run through the SBA's Disaster Loan Program, which helped thousands of businesses in the wake of 9/11; and (2) temporarily eliminating fees on the SBA's 7(a) and 504 loan guarantee programs for small businesses, to help increase private lending for small businesses.

Now that the 2009 Presidential Inaugural is over, it is time for the
new Obama Administration to swing into action.

Macys Closing 11 Stores- Nationwide

Macy's closing 11 stores

Ok...You might be asking yourself, isn't this a weird topic to be
on our site and what the heck is it doing here?

Well, the answer is multi-layered.

First, there is timely information hidden in this news...the trend
and transition from driving over to the Mall and driving Traffic to
the Internet e-commerce Mall.

While Macy's retail store sales declined 4% year over year (sales
December 2008 vs. store sales December 2007, that was not even
close to the case for Macy's Online Store...

One bright spot for the company came in online sales at macys.com
and bloomingdales.com, where sales were up by 39.1 % in December,
by 26 percent in the November-December period and by 30.1 % for
the year to date. This info speaks for itself in the catagory of "Trends."

Our second reason for the Macy's alert is, if you live near these
stores, it is expected that Macy's will have big discount bargains
with the sales due to begin next week.

They carry electronics and accessories and, while we cannot speak
for the corporations plans of how they will liquidate stock at these
stores, they do carry Digital Cameras, DVD players, home theatre
sound systems, headphones, i Pod accessories, MP3 and CD players,
phones and other items that all could apply to your home-based
internet marketing business.

Good deals will help you expand your home-based business as well
as possibly helping you expand your business credit.

Here is a list of the stores closing and the city and state:

Store	Location
Ernst & Young Plaza (Citicorp Plaza)	Los Angeles
The Citadel	Colorado Springs, Colo.
Westminster Mall	Westminster, Colo.
Palm Beach Mall	West Palm Beach, Fla.
Mauna Lani Bay Hotel	Island of Hawaii, Hawaii
Lafayette Square	Indianapolis
Brookdale Center	Brooklyn Center, Minn.
Crestwood Mall	St. Louis
Natrona Heights Plaza	Natrona Heights, Pa.
Century III Furniture and Clearance	West Mifflin, Pa.
Bellevue Center	Nashville, Tenn.

Be More Productive in 2009

I am guessing that you could probably be more productive
than you are today, right?

Here are some ideas to help you get off to the right start for the
new year...and to be more productive in 2009.

Identify "who" you are. If you want to have a successful start
or to improve your business in 2009, I suggest you get really clear
on who you are and what you do or want to do.

Start with your successes...what do you know and what do you
do well?

You may very well have the potential to be an "expert" in a niche
market and can build a very successful, sustainable business via
Articles, Blogging, Video and other communications online...
even public speaking presentations and Seminars on or offline.

What is Your Dream? Knowing where you want to go is
the easiest way to get there!

What Are You Passionate About?
What would you never mind talking about? If you happily would
do it for free then you should have no problem sustaining that
over the "long haul" of building that business and "expert" status.

What Are the Assets You Bring to the Business?
As a new business owner...would you hire YOU? List out your
skills and abilities...what do you know, what do you do well?
What is your experience? Think of it as a resume' to yourself.

This will help lay the foundation for your business mindset and to
begin to look at what you need, defining your goals and setting up
an Action Plan and identifying the objectives to achieve those goals.

If Getting your First Website Online is part of your business model
then we have a program that you will want to look at...with Tutorial
Videos.

Remember, the number one goal to start with is...
to be more productive in 2009.

You Cannot Change Anything with Intention Alone

"You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless."
Caroline Myss Author of Entering The Castle

AIM HIGH

"Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood
and probably themselves will not be realized.

Make BIG plans, aim high in hope and work,
remembering a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die."

**Daniel H. Burhnam

Make it a great year!
